Hi paperweight! I upped to 50mg on ... Friday? I got a migraine today (I did last Sunday too - odd) but I'm getting my period, I didn't drink enough water today, it was hotter today than it had been and I had the windows open, I didn't take my allergy pill (given that my allergist said I don't HAVE allergies), etc. My zomig didn't help but I didn't do anything to help it - I was trying to finish painting a dresser outside in the blazing hot sun for the kid, so . . .

I'm sorry you're not feeling well :( Sometimes I feel like when I ahve the extra pain and I hide more that that in fact perpetuates the cycle somehow, but it's not like it's easy to get out of it. Feel better soon!!! <3

Hellooo!Just stumbled across the thread... I have been suffering from migraines for almost 13 years and was diagnosed with an overgrowth of candida... Have been a year now on an anti candida diet (no yeast, refined flours, sugar and other fermented stuff) and have been on a nutritional programme with high quality vitamins. My progress has been slow but it is totally worth the effort as I only get migraines every 2 to 3 weeks compared to my daily quota! Migraines have also been linked to acidity in the tummy and a lack of alkaline forming foods (although I doubt whether that is the case as I eat loads of veggies!!!)Hope this helps!

Sigh. My rancid old cat snores and farts too (and we wont even talk about the litter box).

But what am I going to do?- he is also the only one who can comfort me when I am feeling my absolute worst (my two little girls are usually too busy destorying their catnip mousies and knocking over their water dishes.)

I am so glad this thread is here! I went to bed with a headache, and then I woke up with one. My head has been throbbing all day. Everyone is saying it's a migraine, but I'm dubious. I've never had a migraine before.

It's sort of a fair trade-off

We're prisoners to our own hearts aren't we Suzy. Mr Angus decided that drooling all over my mac wasn't enough tonight he shook his head a couple more times and eventually managed to get me right on my temple. My migraine side, he swears it's a cure but I don't think I believe him.

I'm hoping to get out over the next couple of days and get ingredients for some high cruciferous soup as recommend by Dr Joel wassisface. I'll be on the flatulence thread by the weekend.

I need to try to go gluten/wheat/yeast free but I don't have the energy atm to prepare much food and there's very little in the way of prepared meals like that here. I think I need to make a couple of bit batches in the slowcooker for the freezer for dinners & figure out breakfasts & lunches.

I am trying too even though the very thought of it makes me sad.

Try as I might I don't think I will ever love kale as much as I loved bagels. I don't know that I can really do ETL the best I can hope for is some type of gluten-free McDougall variation.

I used to have awful migraines and sleep problems. Now I don't anymore. I just posted this link on the Ambian thread, but you should all check it out too. Neurofeedback works wonders for migraines! Give it a try, you'll love how you feel!http://sierraeeg.com/

maxalt and hot yoga are keeping me headache-free more often than not these days.all hail.

heat gives me migraines. (so get the fork lost already summer!)

the topamax is doing a pretty good job most days - i'll realize that i haven't had enough water, i'm a little hungry, etc - and my head won't hurt. but adding in a few other things - like the period - killed me. the maxalt didn't do a thing for me, so to zomig I go.
